We understand. And from what I see, PGT will find a sponsor in the following 2 weeks almost for sure. So you need not worry, your work will not be lost and will not have been in vain. Good luck in your personal life - after all, it's more important than anything you do for the SC community... and big thanks for all you've done.
I highly respect both of you. Illintar you and Pat are awsome, because you know what's best for the community and I guess we've all realized that competition keeps this community alive.
Pat well you are awsome, always had some jokes to say, and you were pretty much everyones friend because you didn't hide in the shadows. Im sure me and all the rest of the admin team appreciate that thanks alot alot, but our thanks to you cannot be said in words, don't know how we can show you our gratitude. Thanks to you and the webmasters who made it all possible, we'll miss you maybe one day you'll be back because your always welcome. So thankyou from the deepest of my heart, it was fun and hopefully this legacy lives on.
life hit me like a TGV (Train a Grande Vitesse - High Speed Train) and I am still "recovering". Let's say that imagine that your mom, your father and your GF died 2 days ago and it would be approximately how I feel right now.

Maybe people didn't realize but PGTour was so much work, it was really insane. Always something minor to fix, the launcher to update (you do not noticed it because anti-hack part was server side), toooooons of PMs, Admins to manage etc... It was taking me over 30 hours/week. The thing is that I really like it and thats not the problem but with what is now going on for me, I didn't have any personal resources to manage all this anymore and I had to quit the comp and take care of other more important matters in my life.
Umm, guys, read. Judging from that post Pat is not "O.K.". He is feeling crapper than crap and I would almost bet that he is in no mood to contact sponsors or do anything related to PGTour right now. Though I do hope chr1s or someone can obtain a copy of the PGTour website and server stuff, real life dose and will always take priority.
Pat, I hope that you will feel better and that you will eventually be OK. The only person you have any obligation to is yourself and that will always be more important than any website or server or game. And you might want to see a psychiatrist; it really doses help to talk to someone. In the mean time, try to stay away from anything lethal.
I so hope that you'll manage to solve the problems you got, YOU are a very special person to everyone of us and you deserve all the fame because of what you did. Ofcourse it's pitty that PGT is gone but that isn't even a bit important, I think I can say that we ALL wish you the best now and in the future. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL
Pat, I hope that everything sorts yourself out in your life. Just make sure you have someone to talk to, stay close to your family.
It was fun working at PGTour. It was amazing how you were always on top of things. I was kind of thinking that you were overextending yourself, and wondered how you held PGTour together.
Pat...YOU ROCKED! You were a great leader in the StarCraft community and you were a man of the people. You were willing to change ideas when you saw that the people wanted to change them, and you were always open to ideas. Even though you gave us high standards, I think they were the right standards to follow.
Pat, don't worry, I think all the admins will agree that when PGTour comes back up we will be 100% behind it again, and we will carry on your legacy =).
I think everyones already said how much you did for the whole community and I hope you feel better with w/e may have happend in life, just remember that you'll always the grandest of respect from your many peers
